Tim Thomerson visited the set occasionally to consult actress Zette Sullivan on playing Jack/Jo before shooting. His advice was to watch movies with Steve McQueen and act like him, only "more pissed off."
Full Moon ended up releasing a "rough cut" of the film at the time of release, since post-production for the film was never finished.
Tim Thomerson's scenes are footage taken from the earlier Trancers sequels. Thomerson himself could not return to reprise his role of Jack Deth due to his asking price being higher than the filmmakers could meet and the film being non-union, in addition to a prior negative working experience with producer Charles Band.
Every member of the crew has a cameo in the film, including the director and the producer.
After production was completed, screener copies of the film were sent to Blockbuster Video. Blockbuster however, passed on the film, since the screeners of the film turned out to be defective and the movie was not even on the screeners.
